嘘别说话 [Shh, Don't Talk]

Yu Xiaowen is a broke, defective Omega, with a damaged gland that can’t be marked, so he can’t find a partner. A lonely man with no parents, and now he’s terminally ill.

Self-statement: Looking back on my life, there’s nothing I’m really attached to. Back in high school, I liked an S-class Alpha so much it almost killed me, but he took the love letter I gave him and pinned it on the school bulletin board. Because he thought my actions, and the scent of my inferior kind, were both disgusting.

That man came from a powerful family, and there was a huge gap between us. After graduation, he became even more unreachable. But by a twist of fate, I somehow ended up with a deadly secret of his in my hands…

I’m almost dying. If it were anyone else, I’d let it go. But him…

I want to disgust him one more time.

Omegaverse, a military doctor, and a cop.

Can it get any better?

The cop (the shou aka O) blackmailed the military doctor (aka A) into a relationship.

Can it get better? It can and it did but I don’t want to spoil anything.

I’m putting more effort into this review because I think this book is a little misunderstood. Yes, the cop blackmailed the gong but not out of cruelty. He is terminally ill and wants to create some memories (or fulfill one selfish wish) with the person he’s loved since middle school.

Was his behavior morally acceptable? No.

Was it emotionally understandable? Personally… yes.

And thankfully this is a happy ending.

Anyways, I really REALLY enjoyed it.

Even though I wasn’t in the right headspace during the last 30% of the book so I skimmed some of it. But life was hectic, and I can’t determine whether it was the book or just me.

Kongyun could have joined ML I’d expand their family tree list but I’m 99% sure of him so… let Xiaowen expand his family tree instead.

okay....... gente la verdad es que sí me gustó.

siento que la mayoría de gente que le pareció bodrio probablemente no leyeron los tags...? esta novela obvio no pretende ser moralmente correcta. a mi en lo personal me daba muchísima risa la relación inicial de los personajes y como se desarrolló hasta la mitad de la novela (que aquí dio un giro en la trama un poco exagerada, pero amo el drama así que la pasé muy bien (y era uno de mis tropos fav...)) así que en general me entretenía bastante.

pero entiendo los sentimientos agridulces sobre otras cosas de su relación como los malentendidos constantes. al inicio era chistoso, sentía que les daba mucha personalidad y entendía el porque se trataban así (era obvio que se tenían mucha desconfianza), pero ya hasta los últimos 10 caps de la novela.... era realmente necesario seguir con un malentendido tras otro???? porque coño se seguían mintiendo sin decirse las cosas a la cara. porque yu xiaowen seguía siendo tan pendejo..!!!!!! dios sentí mucha rabia, pero igualmente, terminó bien así que tampoco me puedo quejar mucho.

vi gente mencionar sobre lo de que intentan lavar la imagen de yu xiaowen pero me parece exagerado que lo consideren tan mala persona (obviando todo lo que pasó desde la mitad de la novela... eso sí se pasó de pendejo), porque sí, era un chantajista y eso es Demasiado obvio que estaba mal, pero en realidad no pasaba de obligar a verse o besos en la mejilla..... realmente era un acosador pero no vayamos tan lejos...... lu kongyun no tenía porqué drogarlo a muerte 😭😭

en fin tendré que empezar a cuestionar mis gustos porque me gustó mucho esta vaina y en algunas partes hasta me puse sentimental Y MENCIÓN ESPECIAL A LOS HERMANOS INCESTUOSOS LOS AMÉ mis psjs secundarios fav... ojalá tuviera extras esta cosa sabes si fueran sobre ellos la forma en la que me los hubiera devorado...

actually la supuesta sangre de perro fue muy lame, hay angst y lo anteriormente mencionado pero no eran tan tóxicos. faltó desarrollo en algunas cosas y pienso que la novela debió haber sido un poco más larga pero ya, creo que fue una lectura de paso para calmar las aguas, y ya sacié mi curiosidad y como verán no la pasé realmente mal.

ABO. Doctor (A) × Cop (O). Unrequited love.
This story really hooks you within the first few chapters. Both leads are likable, but the amount of miscommunication between them was definitely something else. Despite that, I liked watching their relationship develop.

Overall, I had a good time reading it. It has a nice mix of comedy, romance, and action, and it’s also a quick read.

I can't even begin to explain how much I didn't like this.

It was so hyped on twt and I ended up dnf-ing halfway through... Technically it's not a long book (in danmei terms) but I couldn't continue anymore.

Their relationship starts off in a toxic way, with the MC blackmailing the ML into spending time with him... I don't really mind a bit of toxicity here and there in books but in this case it just was really unnecesary? You could just ask him if he wants to befriend you, you didn't have to blackmail him with a video of his disgusting father...

Speaking of disgusting, ML's entire family is full of fucked up individuals. His father, his brother, even his mother??? I don't understand how the blackmail even worked in this case, knowing what his family is like... ML was okay-ish? Other than pissing me off talking about animalistic urges, he didn't do a lot.

The MC was quite annoying...Excuse me but how can you call yourself a good cop when you blackmail and assault your alleged childhood crush? Also can we talk about how the rape tag isn't present on NU?

This book also has incest (not the main couple) and again, this should probably be tagged because it's definitely not my cup of tea and I don't see anyone talking about it? Am I the crazy one?

The story itself was quite boring, I couldn't tell you what happens other than miscommunication.

And lastly, the translation is beyond atrocious. Not sure if it was stated, but it's definitely edited MTL which made me lose some more braincells.

“Lu Kongyun said, “I searched for you so long. If I had failed to find you, I would have searched for a lifetime. To bring you back to my side, I would stake my life. Do you believe me?”

“I believe you.” Yu Xiaowen answered immediately. This truth had already unfolded. Any delay, even a microsecond, would disrespect the other man.

“You liked me since middle school. When illness nearly killed you, your dying wish still sought closeness to me. Because you knew I searched for you, you stayed behind. You accepted prison. Is that correct?”

“… Yes.” Yu Xiaowen answered.

“Nothing surpasses the reality of now.” Lu Kongyun said. “In the future, we will never part.” Yu Xiaowen blinked his stinging eyes.”

cause of so many positive reviews j read i started not knowing what i was gonna find, the whole blackmailing arc caught me off guard (even more coming from the sickly shou) still it was so interesting and a fascinanting concept!!

RATING: 2 STARS

Well, I didn’t enjoy this book at all. I don’t really like both main characters; Lu Kongyun and Yu Xiaowei and most of all, I hate how they start their toxic and red flag relationship of theirs with a blackmail. Like, what’s wrong with plain old vanilla “Hey Lu Kongyun, I know you might know me but we used to be classmates in middle school” or something like that ffs. Also, I don’t and can’t feel Lu Kongyun’s (gong) love and sweet feelings for the shou at all, even after they finally got together. All I see a cold-hearted, stiff, and brooding man that doesn’t know how to smile and has an absolutely shitty personality all year round. And for Yu Xiaowei, I don’t like him either. What gives him the right to blackmail his old crush to trick him into spending time together with him before he dies from cancer? If only he approached Lu Kongyun casually, I swear the story will be so much better.

Why did the author write them like this? Why is the story plot all over the place? Why is everyone so infuriating? Where’s the romance?

Ngl I have quite a lot of questions to ask but I’m too lazy to write them all down here lol. I’ll give another extra because at least it has a good ending but they did become a legit canon couple at end with only about 5 chapters of the both them finally being lovers ONLY???? *sigh*

Let’s hope and pray that my next danmei read is a good one again. *huge sigh*

Real rating: 4.5

A good ABO story with unrequited love. Yu Xiaowen's an omega with low grade pheromones who has some type of disorder that makes him unable to be marked.

When the story begins Yu Xiaowen's also terminally ill but determined in keeping working as a police officer, when investigating one of his cases he comes upon something that if released will make trouble for the Lu family, so he decides that since he'll soon die to use this secret to blackmail Lu Kongyun, a guy he's been in love with since middle-school, to do anything he asks for so he can make some beautiful/lovely memories before he dies.

Lu Kongyun is a top doctor/researcher that comes from a powerful family and he's also a S-alpha with top grade pheromones, used to be at the top and having nothing touch him thanks to his family name so he's not exactly happy to be blackmailed.

This a HEA story, so our leads do end up together at the end, there's also a mystery/case that Yu Xiaowen has to resolve. I really liked the interaction between Yu Xiaowen and Lu Kongyun, it's cute to see Yu Xiaowen fall more in love with the present Lu Kongyun and to also see Lu Kongyun fall in love for the first time. I knocked down half a star because by the 60% mark I started to get a little bored with the stroy, I felt that the misundertanding and other things were taking to long to get resolved, I felt like I was going through a revolving door, things were happening but nothing was getting solved. Also by the end I was getting frustraded with Yu Xiaowen's attitude, I totally got why Lu Kongyun's pissed, Yu Xiaowen did everything never considering how he would feel when Yu Xiaowen died and he also never believed Lu Kongyun's feeling, never believed that Lu Kongyun could fall in love with him.

I'd have liked to read some extras to see how their lives were down the line, when they were together longer and if they ended up having kids.

I really hope the author will write stories about other characthers, like Lu Qifen and Ye Yisan and Dai Lanshan and Dai Jingxi.

And OMG I really don't like to do long reviews, guess I was inspired today.

(read the unrevised version with 82 chapters. there's a longer version, revised from chapter 43, but I couldn't find it in english)

There was something missing for me, I don't know if it's because of the translation or the unrevised version. I'd probably read this again if there's ever a good translation of the new version.
Nevertheless, I really love the main couple. Yu Xiaowen is so adorable, blackmailing his crush into telling him “goodnight, sweetheart” every night. Also Lu Kongyun is so funny because the more he gets blackmailed, the more down bad he is <3

Omegaverse - Bl - Romance - Drama - Hurt/Comfort

Okay, with this one, I would've probably recommended it but the translation just makes it difficult to read. But hey, the characters are lovely, story is interesting and plot is plotting well. so yup. still loved it. Omega was a strong one and rebellious even. A police officer omega x military doctor alpha. Slow-burn af!

I didn’t enjoy that the story begins with blackmail, there’s nothing about that setup that fosters a positive or healthy relationship. Much of the plot relies on miscommunication, with the characters repeatedly failing to express their true feelings, which made the reading experience frustrating overall.
